Mice can invade anyone’s home at anytime. Their small slender make up ensures that they can fit through the smallest of holes. Mice are characterized as being small rodents with hairless tails. They are able to collapse their skeletal bodies in order to fit through tight, small places. Mice can infest a house in as little as a month and are notorious for carrying diseases. Their feces and urine are known to carry the hantavirus, leptospirosis, meningitis, and salmonellosis to name a few. These virus are severe with some being deadly to humans. Mice can reproduce in as little as 20 days while each little can give birth of up to 12 mice. If left untreated, a mice infestation can devastate a home. In the home, mice will typically infect areas such as the garage, basement, and kitchen. Here, they are seeking warmth from the winter months and food which they require to survive. The first indication of a mouse infestation is usually the signs of droppings throughout the home. Droppings can be described as rice shaped but black in colour. In unfinished basements, it is not uncommon for mice to be seen running inside insulation. Mice love to make nests in basement insulation as it provides the perfect breeding environment. In addition, mice can also be found in the attic of homes. Typically, homeowners will experience a faint scratching at all hours of the day either in the ceiling or between walls. This is yet another indication of a mouse infestation. Pest Pro Canada offers expert mice removal and control to residents of the Durham Region.
